Need help for CP?

I'm sending you this because your request takes more than one minute for me to process.

1 minute from 100 people adds up to a lot, especially when some of these requests are debugging code, which takes up to 20 minutes per person.

I need to do practice myself, I need to do contests, I make videos to help the community (unlike most other people!), and I have my own personal life. Don't be disrespectful of my time.

Or, your question has already been addressed in one of my videos.

I made videos to answer questions, not for people to ask them again.

Personal requests are harmful for the community

Your request takes at least 1 minute for me to process. During that 1 minute, I can create 1 / 1000 th of a video. A video on a general topic in CP can benefit up to 20000 people. After doing some simple math, you realize that you are stealing knowledge from 20000 * 1 / 1000 = 20 people, just for your simple request which could probably be solved if you tried a bit harder. Persistence is one of the key factors to doing well in CP (or anything in life)!

You should not ask me questions

I don't know why everyone thinks that it's a good idea to target me (being more well-known) to ask all these questions. There are a lot of reds / good coders who don't have people asking them questions all the time (and would possibly be happy to provide mentorship!!!). Why not ask them? They will definitely have the time, since pretty much nobody is asking them.

Alternatives

In addition to asking some other red / good coder as I mentioned above, you can try to resolve the issue yourself, which is a good skill to learn. I have also created a Discord server (https://discord.gg/AneA5wg) so you can try to ask your question there and see if anyone wants to respond.
